Spacious property especially good for a couple of families to share.

Spacious property especially good for a couple of families to share. The weather was very wet, windy and cold and there didn't seem to be much firewood available. Loved the fresh basil in the outdoor 'corridor'. I think the freezer part of the fridge needs sorting. I'd happily return. This property has tremendous potential.

Owner's Response: Thanks for your feedback, shame about the weather there was extra firewood in the trailer just past the clothes line. We'd love to have you back. Callan

Located about three km out of Carterton, this property is really special.

Located about three km out of Carterton, this property is really special. Huge garden, wraparound deck, and a children's fort. Only neighbours we heard were sheep and cows, it's really idyllic. Lovely big house. We stayed there as a family of three, but with four more bedroom, would easily hold many more. House is beautiful, with everything in it that you might need. We'd love to return to this property
